NY Times: Your Job Interviewer Is Not a Person. It’s A.I. (July 6, 2025)
If you thought the interview process couldn’t get any worse, you were wrong. HR organizations looking for ways to reduce the load on their human recruiters have embraced these trends.
A.I. can personalize a job candidate’s interview, said Arsham Ghahramani, the chief executive and a co-founder of Ribbon AI. His company’s A.I. interviewer, which has a customizable voice and appears on a video call as moving audio waves, asks questions specific to the role to be filled, and builds on information provided by the job seeker, he said.
“It’s really paradoxical, but in a lot of ways, this is a much more humanizing experience because we’re asking questions that are really tailored to you,” Mr. Ghahramani said.
So yes, Ribbon AI chief Arsham Ghahramani describes his AI interview software as humanizing, an irony only the most self-interested and not particularly introspective people could claim with a straight face.
But with applicants turning to AI to churn out applications, the AI arms race is all but guaranteed to grow.
